Personality
Not much has been revealed yet about this character's personality. She seems to be tough, independent and smart. Hayden believes that, even with the conditions in which they are now forced to live, suicide is never an option.

When it comes to her relations with others, Hayden tries not to get too attached to people, believing she will end up losing them, not wanting to be hurt, and when necessary, she tries to push them away, being cold towards them. But when she does develop a relationship with someone, Hayden becomes very protective of them and cares about them a lot, although she tries to hide it.

Hayden doesn't like to kill, not even walkers. She prefers to run away whenever it is possible and only kills if she has no other choice.
